US IMPACT ON ISRAEL-IRAN RELATIONS

Abstract

The article examines the US influence on Israeli-Iranian relations, as well as the formation of Israeli-US relations with Iran, differences over Iran's nuclear program, especially the nuclear deal, and the change in relations between Iran, Israel and the United States from time to time. An important aspect of the Iran-Israel problem is that both countries act as regional rivals competing for international prestige as minority countries. Although Iran and Israel have a number of fundamental differences in political structure, history, and diplomatic priorities, the similarities between Tehran and Tel Aviv are roughly the same. The concept of competition within Israel and Iran is a mysterious, multifaceted concept that includes historical, political, and US outcomes that must be discussed in advance. When analyzing the competition policy between Iran and Israel, it is important to note some historical and political events. As Israel's largest ally in the Western Hemisphere, the United States has been heavily
involved in Iran-Israel affairs, especially given Washington's historic reservations against Tehran. Therefore, it would not be right to exclude the United States from the analysis of thecompetition between Iran and Israel and how it forms the trio of foreign policy relations for all three countries. The regional rivalry between Iran and Israel is inherent in other Middle Eastern conflicts, in the sense that revolutionary history is the biggest factor in analyzing the origins of such a deep relationship. It should be noted that the events after the 1979 Revolution and the overthrow of Shah Pahlavi played an important role in the  formation of the current open hostility between Iran and Israel. Differences in Obama's and Trump's policies on Iran were also one of the main
factors driving Israel's policy toward Iran. The Israeli-Iranian conflict, in which the nuclear program is the main topic of discussion, has become more acute with the advent of the nuclear deal, and Israel has become increasingly concerned. However, opinions within the Israeli government were different.
